AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER FENCING Gates 23-3-18 Automatic gate openers are nice to have but good ones are pricey, selling for up to $12,000. A Missouri distributor says his GTO automatic gate opener doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the top models have but it does cost a lot less.
"You can buy a pretty sophisticated system for less than $1,150," says Craig Pierce, Fencing Center, Hawk Point, Mo.
The GTO gate openers operate off a 12-volt battery that can be charged by a solar unit or by a low voltage trickle converter that works off 110 volt electricity. It opens just like a remote control garage door opener. Single and dual gate systems are available, in either push-to-open or pull-to-open styles.
"The 12-volt battery allows you to open the gate up to 20 times before it has to be recharged," says Pierce. "Other companies offer gate openers that work off direct 110 or 220-volt electricity. If the power goes out you can't operate the gate."
Options include a video camera and intercom, card readers, key pad with code, automatic gate locks, etc. Can be fitted to any kind of gate up to 30 ft. long and 500 lbs.
